Join over a million readers nationally in celebrating African American authors and African American literature during the annual African-American Read-In!
Discover a new favorite author or revisit with a familiar friend as we share works by African-American authors both current and historic. We're celebrating African-American literature in poetry, story, and song in conjunction with the 30th Annual National African-American Read-In. Among the featured readers will be local leaders and community members from several fields including government, education, religion, and the arts. Refreshments provided by the Hawthorne Woman's Club!
The National African American Read-In is the nation’s first and oldest event dedicated to diversity in literature. It was established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month.
The Hawthorne Branch Library provides access to resources and services in the City of Hawthorne and surrounding areas.
